How do you help clients? 

I help clients by understanding the whole planning, development, construction and life cycle process. This allows me to consider risk and commercial viability at every stage and advise accordingly. I am able to listen and understand client problems and offer tailored solutions and bespoke situations.

I help clients; having worked as a director for a contractor, a developer and as a client, therefore understanding intimately the challenges faced by all stakeholders on a project.
